Pat Van Dyke is a drummer, composer, producer, and band leader. Equally comfortable behind the drum kit, as he is penning compositions at the Fender Rhodes, PVD balances the rhythmic intensity of true-school hip hop & experimental electronic music with the rich harmony & refreshing subtlety of jazz. Drawing from a diverse palette of sounds, PVD's music features live instrumentation alongside analog synthesizers, vintage keyboards, and lush horn sections, straddling the boundaries of electronic music, jazz, and golden era hip-hop. Pat's music has been featured on broadcast television shows such as NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly", as well as viral videos from the likes of VICE Magazine and Canadian skate site; PUSH.ca. Along with a rotating cast of NYC's finest musicians, PVD has brought his unique LIVE blend of raw funk & organic hip-hop to packed houses at The Blue Note, S.O.B's, NJPAC, The Knitting Factory, Southpaw, as well as other venues; large & small, throughout NYC & beyond. Recent releases include PVD Breaks Volume I & II (original breakbeat series), a full length LP with NJ emcee; 8thW1, as well as a limited edition vinyl 7" single with (mc) John Robinson entitled "Miles & Trane": a hip hop tribute to the two jazz legends which sold out at nearly all online vinyl retailers within the first month.
